I am having problems connecting my laptop to my network. I went to bed last night and it was working woke up and now it is not working. The problem i found is that i have the wrong IP address. I am using a linksys router so the ip should be 192.168.1.XXX but it is 169.xxx.x.x(something like that). Another interesting fact is that my physical address seems to have changed, i assume that is the same as the MAC address which i thought could not be changed? I have tried all the ipconfig commands, release, renew, ext...but keep coming up with that 169. ip. I have also checked all the settings in the network connection and they all seem to be correct. I am all out of ideas...
